What the BookCorpus?

So in the midst of all these Sesame Streets characters and robots transforming automobile era of "contextualize" language models, there is this "Toronto Book Corpus" that points to this kinda recently influential paper:

Yukun Zhu, Ryan Kiros, Rich Zemel, Ruslan Salakhutdinov, Raquel Urtasun, Antonio Torralba, and Sanja Fidler. 2015. "Aligning books and movies: Towards story-like visual explanations by watching movies and reading books." In Proceedings of the IEEE international conference on computer vision, pp. 19-27.

Why do I even care, there's no translations there?

Some might know my personal pet peeve on collecting translation datasets but this BookCorpus has no translations, so why do I even care about it?
